The Irish playwright’s famed 1895 play remains, quite possibly, the wittiest comedy written in the English language. Two bachelors, Jack and Algy, create alter-egos named “Ernest” in order to escape life’s occasional inconveniences. The blithe deceptions descend into bizarre misadventures when they woo two ladies who choose only to love men who, coincidentally, are only named “Ernest.”
